I am not 100% certain either, but I believe you are correct. Although the distinction you make between object files and binaries is correct, I am so used to the (imprecise) dichotomy between source and object code that I read the question to be about binaries, hence answered as I did. Sorry if I mislead anyone. -- -------------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"-------- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, California, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
